Equipment—End of Design Phase, Beginning of Fabrication and Construction Phase

LPP’s design team of Lerner, Thompson and Subramanian have now completed the six-month design phase of the project, finishing design work on the device, the shielding wall and the vacuum chamber.

We are now into the fabrication and construction phase, which will last three months. We have received the switches for the capacitors and work is underway on all the metal parts, including the vacuum chamber and drift tube. We are still ordering the remaining non-custom equipment, such as the spectrometer, shield cables, PMTs, and so on.
